Like that tree is an inspiration in the desert. You are an inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing your life with the world we are all better for it.

The sunset time lapse was so cool. Great music choice there as well. Excellent camp site. It's getting harder and harder to find campsites with banks these days.

It was my first RTR. I assumed you were a regular speaker 😊

My favorite moment was probably poetry in the hot spring but that whole video was my fav. I appreciate your food haul except for the olives. Olives are gross. I think it's important we're honest with each other. 🤮

It was awesome to meet you! If you pass through Oregon this coming summer I camp host and will definitely pur you up for free!

It was so nice to meet you at the women's RTR and the RTR with Bob Wells. And it was nice to go to your Meetup and just have like a one-on-one conversation with you. You are the sweetest person. And I'm glad you made it out to Palm canyon. Hugs to Frank. And you have a safe trip on your travels.

I became familiar with the term 'Rubber Tramp' from the movie 'Into the Wild' telling the tragic story of Chris McCandless.

Anyone: Where, EXACTLY, did most/many of the RTR folks CAMP? I was planning on going but didn't want to camp alone and didn't want to wait a day or 2 until I met folks at the event then have to MOVE my already set up camp. Had I known IN ADVANCE where most folks would camp, and if there was a SIGN saying "rtr" or something I would have gone. Maybe next year but....does anyone know WHERE EXACTLY most were parked/camped? Thanks!

Burning question did anyone knock on your van door?

❤❤❤

I've spilled coffee in my tent more times than I'm willing to admit. I always feel dumb. and it's always preventable. Brian seems awesome. Super chill and knowledgeable. I could see us getting along

My Curtain Girl!!! Finally found you on YT! I stuck your sticker in a hiding place. Was so nice to meet you, kinda sorry it was during close down and I now feel like I'm getting to know you, as if I'm spending time with you! LOL OMG Did not know you were going to show my crappy job......wanted to turn in the edges but the inside did not allow

Just watched your presentation with Jan from Butterfly Tracks (on her YT channel). You both did so well, and the audience participation and tips were great, too. 👏❤

I forgot what HOWA stands for? 😢

😮🎉 It sounds like you would be coming back for the women’s RTR for yourself because it sounds like you were a little overloaded.😮 I highly recommend going to the regular RTR for everybody else at least once to find out little things that you may or may not know. 😮😊😊

wow 11 years. that's impressive. Very cool. I also understand the solitary path. I have yet to attend one of those as I am pretty introverted so I understand.

Frank is absolutely majestic. You two are lucky to have eachother.

Excellent video! Thank you.

Looks like so much fun. Was planning on going but had an accident so home is in the shop for repairs. Next year.🐢🐩🐕🐶🌌✨🐳🌺🌲☮️☀️🌈🌟🌊🐦

Could you do a video on how you get Frank in that backpack ? My dog is about his size but a little heavier I think , 70 ish lbs but I would like to have a backpack like that for a backup plan. I’m happy you had a good experience at the RTR, I’m not great with crowds either. I can definitely relate to you girl. When I get out on the road I’d definitely be up for an Amanda meetup 😀🙋🏻‍♀️

Frank 🐕🥕🥕❤❤❤

Your great narration had me asking... do you think the wolves on fleece image was AI generated? I wonder, who owns that image? 😂 Really enjoyed the honesty behind how great people can make you feel about how great you've made them feel! You've definitely made a difference, and I wish you a continued happy life.

As a watcher of people vibes, this was so great for you & Frank both. You both are glowing. I so enjoyed Frank’s tail wags. Side to side, up & down AND helicopter wags, which are surely a sign of blissful contentment. Way to expand the journey ✌️❤️☀️

Hope you are safe at home and neither of you get the valley fever. Hugs and love coming your way. ❤

Excellent stuff! How wonderful to pull that off. I felt proud seeing you up on the podium giving wise words and advice at the WRTR. Your poor head, just so much overstimulation, I hope you’re having some lovely chill time now to reset. Loved seeing Frank meeting his fellow nomads and plotting their own Dogs RTR! 😊

Great job Amanda, I'm happy to hear you had a positive, enjoyable time at the RTR! I'm sure the women learned from you. Frank seemed to enjoy it too. 🐕

So proud of you Amanda. I'm just watching here and my arm hairs are up. I'm not sure I could do what you just did. What an expirience to live, very happy for you and everyone that was able to entend. Love your headband.

Yay! Smashing boundaries! 🎉 Love the headband. New pals for 🌵 Arizona Frankie! 🐾 💝 🌕 🔥 👍😎🇨🇦 Thanks for making me smile today, Amanda!😊

One day I want to go. I have a bare minimum set up, and would love other ideas and to meet new people.

Found you from Diana and the kitties rang the bell 🔔

You look so happy! I think it was good for you. I’m there too. Enjoyed your talks. Can’t wait to see your van tour. Your van is one of my all-time favorites! What’s next? Baja?

Hi Amanda. I'm so happy you had a good time in Quartzsite and was able to hang out with like minded people. And you went on the palms hike. So beautiful there. Did you also walk the giant labyrinth? Wished I could have met up with you. I'm 2 hrs from Quartzsite. Happy and safe travels ahead on your adventures.

New subscriber. Great video and channel.

Hi Amanda, I wish my camper truck had been ready for this event. I really wanted to attend WRTR this year and meeting you would have been great. Keep making genuine videos! You inspire me ❤ Annie

I watch your videos all the time and I’m such an introvert I rarely comment on any. Wow, cuddos to you for stepping out and into such big roles there is no way I could do that. So proud of you! 👏 I love Frank and he’s such a good boy as always. Heelers are the best!!! I know cuz I have blue heeler her name is “Z” short for Ziva. My home base is Washington and I go solo camping as much as I can in the spring and summer just me and Z in our van. If you’re ever in Washington feel free to message me if you feel like company. I’m an artist who paints dogs mostly and would love to paint Frank for you. I just need a good digital photo of him. Thanks for sharing ❤

I don't know about you but I was so emotional for Amanda. She is such an amazing person. To see her so jazzed brought me to tears. So happy for your experience and how you stepped into it.🙌 YOU DID IT! 🙌 I hope you feel as proud of yourself as we feel for you! Enjoy your future of New beginnings from moving forward! Blessings 🧙

Amanda, this was a beautiful video. I loved it very much. Thank you for sharing. Nice that you got so much positive energie out of this. Wish you and Frank well. Enjoy you're travels!

I'm so Happy for You. It's so good to hear everything is going so well. You had a nice turnout for your first meet-up. Enjoy the rest of your time.

I had never heard of RTR before your videos. I have heard of Quartzite and was even in that area last Oct. but I do not like that kind of camp. Good for you for going volunteering and your speech was great. I saw it on another persons video….butterfly something?😂 Cool meet up. Unfortunately I’m in South Carolina, not a nomad but solo traveler and camper.😊

in this video you speak to my own first experience. It is great to hear it all described with the excitement I also felt when I went to the area.

Thank you so much for all you did for us this year. I loved your energy and you inspire me.

I feel proud of you for going outside your comfort zone and sense your joy. Especially liked Frank meeting multiple doggies. I have a chow mix rescue from humane society.

I’m coming home a place of: I would like to solve this and get to the bottom of it. Do you or your family have a history of high bl. pressure? If so, you really should stop drinking LMNT. Too much sodium can actually trigger a BP headache. 😅 I never realized there was 1000 mg of sodium in there!! Not unless you’re really working up a sweat!! Please get your BP checked!! And restrict/watch your sodium/monosodium glutamate/aged cheeses/nitrites and nitrate (🍷) intake!! It really could be any number of food intolerances-including gluten-which I realize is in everything that tastes awesome. 😅 Perhaps go on a very restrictive diet and add in little things one at a time. My mother used to get migraines ALL the time and it was the food she was eating usually. The other times were from stress. 😣

Be proud of yourself for accomplishments over big hurdles, wooo!!!

You are sensational! I could never be around all those strangers. Frank is so darn cute. Travel safe back to Canada.

Yes this is a really valuable event !❤

I’m so proud of your accomplishments. You deserve this and I hope it has brought growth with it in both the way you see others and feel about others. I’ve been watching you for a long time and there were times I thought you were a little hard on some other van-lifers. Getting to meet and see behind the stage face of others has had to have an impact. It sure has had an impact on me to actually get to know others. Yes some do it for choice, some for need and still others for their health, all reasons are worthy. Thank you for sharing yourself and life with us.

Really enjoyed this video. I think you conveyed your experience and a window into this iconic event without filming inside the event. Thanks for sharing this experience with us. I am so glad that you had a great time.
